Dip Directions?
In episode 11 of the Diplomacy Games podcast Kaner and I discussed longevity aspects and risk management of sites like webDip and vDip to ensure they grow and reduce the chances of going down (either technically speaking or perceptions of IP infringement). We said we'd create a thread for this for others to contribute. What do you reckon?

being modkilled isn't fun

I'm going to go back and reread some more, hopefully I can make some progress before EON. Ezio remains my top scumread, followed by Teacon7/Tom Bombadil and DemonRHK. My top townreads (besides clears + arj11) are probably Fluminator and Rdrivera2005.

"Xorxes is in both because I'm reading him as both. He's made statements that I absolutely agree with, and I think he's been net pro town. My problem is I think he's even better than that, and he's been trying to string us along by contributing as little as possible to avoid getting scumread, while still being seen as townie."

Ezio, can you explain why you thought xorxes was ever net pro-town. What statements did you agree with?
Ezio (2181 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
Well I liked his statement at most one of Vash/Balki/MF was scum. I agreed with him about it. (upon rereading, he said only one of those three was scum, but I'm pretty sure he mistyped that)
He had a statement clearing Balki that I agreed with.
He pushed peter to end on a real wagon EoD1. ( I need to go back and check who peter was voting for at the time, as they might be scum, but this is just me analyzing Xorxes)
He explained we didn't need a CC to determine the truth of BB's developer claim, as it would become clear sooner or later.
I liked his case against MF.
He really started going downhill from EoD2-onwards, which is why I had him in both, as I felt Xorxes should be doing more than he was.

Important quote EoD3:
"I'm guessing Balki was killed because he's a good player, was a semi-clear, was less likely to be doc-saved than one of the clears, and might have been onto some of them."- Xorxes. I believe this to be true. It was before people had scumreads on him, and I believe he would not be saying something so completely wrong, as people might notice. I will go re-analyze Balki's reads, and see who we haven't lynched yet. This will only be a slight piece of evidence against whomever I find, but it's worth looking for.

Sudden thought - did you ever use the Vanilliser power, DO? If so; say when & who on in your EoB reads. That person would be clear of being hooker if there's been RBs since; which could be handy at the end if hooker ends up lasting longest.

Ezio (2181 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
Xorxes telling Peter to make their vote count was after Peter ended with his vote on BB. Meaningless.
Balki: D2: was suspicious of Floodgates, Teacon, Maniac (I'm still fuming), Peterlund(RIP), but he ended the day on Vecna.
N2: "Moscow
arj/rdrivera/darg
Brainbomb"
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))

To be honest I cannot see any scenario where I don't lynch teacon tomorrow. Not only did xorxes blatantly protect him D4, but he disappeared the moment he was asked to cc me - clearly asking in the Mafia QT if he should do so.

Are we allowed to talk in code in this game? Riot if I say the name of my favourite football team I'm using the light, if I say the name of my least favourite team I'm not using it (is this legal or too meta?)

Hidden messages are fine.
Durga (3609 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
3. Encryption is defined as posting an encoded message on public channels that an average person would require outside tools to decode. It is perfectly acceptable to leave "hidden messages" in your posts (for example, spelling out "I AM THE COP" with the first letters of every sentence), but as a rule of thumb, if you don't think the average webDip user could decode it without a decryption service, don't post it.

Nevermind

@Demon
Ezio is town because he's doing a really good job of seeming like a clueless Townie. I really struggle to see him being on a scum team.

Death llama was oozing town in his reaction to your wagon on him.

"This will only be a slight piece of evidence against whomever I find, but it's worth looking for." -Ezio, pg177

@Ezio - wdym by "slight piece of evidence against whomever I find"? Do you mean whoever you find with this search will have this used against them as part of a larger case instead of on its own?
DeathLlama8 (514 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
Rdriv, pg176 - "Anyway, what do you think of Teacon jpg? Could scum have aimed at him because of this?"

What is jpg?
Ezio (2181 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
I'm saying if Balki was suspicious of people that we are already scumreading, it can be used to help the case. It's not enough to scumread anyone on its own, but it might be a nice factor about lynching order.
teacon7 (306 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
Obligatory post/reads.

I teach a night class so I can't be on until later, but I don't want to get modkilled.

reads:
-I scumread HR for claiming last minute (unless he's actually a clear), and Flum is a townread because HR was trying to lynch him (unless HR's claim checks out - did anyone cc?).

rdriv/tom - null. I don't know how to read them.
DL8 is playing like he did before when I was lurky scum and won the game because he forgot to log on. arj is playing like I did when scum won that game. (So am I, I guess, but that's not really in my control at present. I'm not playing the next game because it doesn't look like I'll ever actually have time.)

DO seems pretty town, because her cases are organic, mobile, and genuinely trying to figure it out.

kak and warden should do their own reading, and not rely on persuasive but not-clear voices.
Fluminator (1500 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
"If you're not going to read my d2 posts or my response though we deserve to lose this game"

"@demonoverlord - or you could actually read my response and explain why its not valid, but this works too"

"I want everyone on me to read the posts referenced for themselves. Some of them are nowhere near what DemonOverlord is portraying them as."

These are all pretty genuine sounding from deathllama, and he was under pressure when he made them so he didn't have much time to plan them out if he was scum.
Durga (3609 D)

ffs teacon.
As genuinely clueless as that posts sounds, he had over 24 hours to plan it if he is scum.
Teacon, are you going to be more active tomorrow?
